'The Melancholy of the Gael', 1909
Scope and Contents
This notebook is largely blank, but there are some notes for, or an outline of, a lecture on the 'Melancholy of the Gael'. It appears to be a lecture for students studying Celtic at the University of Edinburgh. It seems to be based on a lecture, held the following year (the script for which is also in this collection: B7), focusing on the tone of Gaelic literature, rather than on cultural traits of Highlanders.
